Hey guys new to the forum wanted to say hi. Just bought my first project vehicle, the above m1009. 6.2/700r4/1ton axles.
I have been searching on the forum for a thread to help me with my shifting problems.
same old thing stuck in first
looking for a thread that looks beyond TV cable, governor, and governor gear.
Any ideas?

Welcome!

Since the 700r4 isn't stock, I can't help much, but I'm sure someone will chime in.

The T400 is vacuum shifted, so rotted vacuum lines are a common problem there. If yours is also vacuum operated, start there.

Hey Marcus, what was the stock transmission?

Stock trans is the TH400, obviously someone must have put the OD trans in there to offset the low geared axle swap.

Thanks so much. What was the stock transfer case? I have a 208 in it now.

If the TV cable is not set perfectly, you can toast a 700r4 in a matter of miles. It is not a kick down cable like a TH350. The TV controls the line pressure and if not right, it will cause the clutches to slip, not shift correctly and a host of other issues.

It is absolutely paramount that the TV cable is adjusted correctly. Here is a link -

Pretty sure the 205 would have been stock to your truck. I know I've got the 208 with the PTO provisioning, but I can't remember if the 208 w/o PTO was stock. The Lube Order states 205 and 208, so I think the 1009s would have had the 205. I'm a 1031 guy, so I don't have much weigh in about this. Rick would definitely know better about it than me.
